The City Council promised some time ago
TO grade the broad road to the head of Main
street, and make that most beautiful portion
of our city habitable. Now is the time
that Eastern capitalists are anxious TO invest
their money and make this their home, and
now, therefore, is the time for our City
Council to act. Why do they hesitate? Is
not the increase of taxable proper in itself
enough to Justify immediate work? Will
not the city lots In that vicinity raise ten
fold in value, and is not the location in itself
an evidence of the amounts that will be
expended in the erection of suitable dwell
ings? If our neighbors are not afraid to
invest their cash, and take chances for the
future, why should we hesitate to use a very
small sum in making improvements?
